Elegancia team & supporters - I NEED YOUR HELP. Skip to bottom for TL;DR

I post this here because ultimately, I want Elegancia on the phone, and who better to help accomplish that?

I screwed up rooting & ROMing my wife's sensation. We both got ours two years ago, I rooted mine right away (hboot 1.17) and have run ARHD and in recent months Elegancia.

She has kept hers up to date on official TMO-US OTA's. Her hboot is 1.27.0000. I managed to get HTCDev unlocked via Hasoon's tool http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1497404 and from there, could not get 4EXT to load, and also could not get root via SuperSU upon first try (I may have gotten it prior to it finally working, more on that in a second).

Via loading TWRP in Hasoon's tool, I tried flashing Elegancia 4.1 v7. I understood it needed 4EXT for fancy OTA features but hoped it would load first, then I could install 4EXT and reflash Elegancia. I could not get it to boot to Elegancia, it would hang at the HTC Sensation Beats logo splash screen.

I tried using hasoon's tool to specifically use the 4EXT recovery.img I got through searching XDA threads where others needed the 4EXT zip and posted it. It would not boot to 4EXT, it would try, then reboot and hang at the Elegancia loading.

I managed to Fastboot USB the TWRP recovery.img back on the phone, get back into TWRP, and somehow managed to get ARHD ROM to install and load (although first boot hung, second boot (and other reboots since) worked!). So it is on ARHD, but wifi is broken, and I really want to get the phone on Elegancia.

I think my problem is being 1.27 and S-ON. I would love to get her phone S-OFF and SuperCID so that it is as flexible as my phone. Now that I have ARHD on it, am I any closer to accomplishing this?

The wifi will not turn on, it just says "error" whenever I tap to turn it on.

The hard part I think, is that I'm really not comfortable with the "wire trick" - there has to be another way?

Sorry for the wall of text but I only got 2 hours of sleep, panicking while working on this and subsequently being yelled at for the whole thing (understandable, she told me not to do it last night).

TL;DR

Phone is currently:

-ARHD 6.8

-hboot 1.27.0000

-firmware is whatever last official TMo OTA is

-wifi erroring

-TWRP for recovery

-HTCdev unlocked

-S-ON

-rooted, I think? I loaded SuperSU but unsure how to verify root. running ARHD means root, yes?

Need:

-S-OFF

-SuperCID

-Elegancia ROM load

-4EXT

-not in that order?
[HTC Sensation] Ty5982:
where to start lol,with ur wifi not working,have u tried an other kernel to see if that solves the issue?,s-off is an easy process & super CID is simple as u only need to do it once,also did u do any wipes or formats before trying to flash elegancia rom?
[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
The complete solution to your problem is

Following this guide to the letter "flashing roms with son" written by asskickar in Sensation general section
[HTC Sensation] velvet396:
I will check that out - *edit* AWESOME - this looks like it should solve things. Thank you for pointing me to that, and sorry for filling the room with noob mistakes.

I know, sorry again for the wall of text. I have not tried another kernel. I feel l was lucky to get ARHD booting regularly. My wife has the phone and may kill me if I don't get it right on the next go. :D

S-OFF was easy last time. With hboot 1.27, S-OFF is not so easy, same with superCID. I did multiple times use the superwipe script. One time after doing superwipe script in TWRP, when it auto-rebooted, I wasn't expecting reboot and it tried to boot the ROM, which gave me the elegancia loading screen, and of course, frozen/hang. Immediately after that is when I used TWRP to flash ARHD.
[HTC Sensation] nasif69:
I,m also using PYD-X. Do you prefer to use SIO scheduler in PYD-X?
[HTC Sensation] nosferatu997:
Yes, SIO is the best.
[HTC Sensation] candleworth7808:
While using Hasoons tool, after selecting 4ext recovery, it would never stick. Always rebooting back to OS. I had to download the 4ext recovery IMG from the official website and switch with one that comes with the tool. You don't need s-off, you can enable smartflash which enables s-on flashing. I'm currently s-on and enjoying elegancia ROM.
[HTC Sensation] AnatolDv:
Dear friends, the developers. Why do we become so boring? Whether to wait for further development? Honestly, I have a desire to buy "HTC One". What do you say? :confused:
[HTC Sensation] farazejaz:
Stock keyboard

Excellent Rom working perfectly but can i use stock keyboard and phone input ?
[HTC Sensation] 10neke:
Boring. because all has been done in such a Fab way that the phone is just near perfect.....................it's a good thing.!!! :laugh:

I was tempted to buy a One, but not going to. No SD slot and no possibilities to take out battery are a big deal. It's a no no for me.

So question is, buy something else, but WHAT, or stick to my fantastic (albeit "boring") smooth running, good looking Senny. till the next releases.

I'll just sleep another night on it. ;).
[HTC Sensation] commencal661:
I don't see a problem in not having an SD slot as the phone has 32GB or 64GB memory available plus an out-of-the-box OTG support :)

The battery could be a problem, but I guess the phone is stable enough so it's not neccessary to pull the battery, 'cos it's not going to crash or freeze just like that. :)

BTW, my father got it a few days ago and he lend it to me for a while, and I must say that that phone is a beast
[HTC Sensation] Ty5982:
what if u was a master of trial & error & a master of mistakes like me:p,I need battery pull incase of buck ups:D
[HTC Sensation] commencal661:
Well, my mum's phone (Nexus 4) froze a few days ago and all I had to do was pressing the power button until it restarted :)

Maybe it's the same with the One :P

Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e (phone says Z715e)
[HTC Sensation] Ty5982:
I only had the one for a month but didn't make any buck ups so I wouldn't no,I just made an elegancia theme for it instead;)
[HTC Sensation] 10neke:
The 64 GB is not available here in Holland as far as I know. I might be a beast but I'm simply not convinced.
[HTC Sensation] Ty5982:
I never realized,more dutch,soon united & xda will become orange:p
[HTC Sensation] AnatolDv:
Yes, it is. But to be able to enter the Bootloader, it is necessary to remove the power settings in the "fast boot" (remove the checkbox) :highfive:
[HTC Sensation] kanbei:
The same here in Poland, so I bought mine on auctions site (64 dev.ed). Believe me with this ver.You don't need an sdcard (maybe exchangeable battery but only in some future). And I agree that 32 ver for such a phone is a real mistake. 32 I used directly after moving from sensation.

But if You decide to move to ONE i can HIGHLY recomend this phone (64 ver) and HIGHLY NOT reccomend 32 ver.
[HTC Sensation] AnatolDv:
Well not know, not know ... On HTC Sensation me had enough 16 GB. I have a moderate appetite. ;)
[HTC Sensation] Ty5982:
I will give it a few weeks before u all wished u hadn't got the one,prinz has it now,he'll soon wish he hadn't,I had it for a month & couldn't wait to give it back,I only kept it to see if I was capable of making an elegancia theme for it,which I did:D,but no more HTC One talk now from anyone,me included,read the one threads to see for yourself;)
[HTC Sensation] 10neke:
as orange as van Persie, you can't get it more bright then that.........and you love it: :D
[HTC Sensation] nicushorm:
Senny + OTG + external DAC

Is there anybody that use Sensation with a Fiio E17 (like)?

My biggest question is if there is any possibility to have audio out via usb and push it to an external DAC? :confused:
[HTC Sensation] farazejaz:
how can I get default phone input for messages ? can I use any mod to change my phone input layout ?
[HTC Sensation] pc boy:
If I got you right you're talking about keyboard!

If so you can use Smart keyboard!

BTW, great work elegancia team! It's the best I've ever seen for Sensation:good:
[HTC Sensation] thorium232:
USB OTG does not work for me, I tried with a powered usb hub also, but nothing. I'm using the default kernel shipped with this rom.
[HTC Sensation] V6-Maniac:
Thats correct,

The kernel provided with Sense 4.1 v7 series aint compatible with OTG.

If want OTB support then flash a kernel which does support it.
[HTC Sensation] ronald027:
thus this ROM can run nba 2k13 without lag??is anyone out there try it??
[HTC Sensation] V6-Maniac:
I recon you to backup your existing rom and flash Elegancia with your desired kernel and try if it will work. ;)
[HTC Sensation] ronald027:
how??and what kernel is that??
[HTC Sensation] V6-Maniac:
How? If your not know on how to backup (nandroid) your current rom version then please read the general thread first on how to flash.

There are numerous threads which will guide you.

Also the OP contains some sort of install guide.

Kernel? desired kernel is the kernel which suites you best...

There are a lot to choose from and nobody can advice you regarding which one to use.

This depends on what you want to do with your phone but also not all Sensations are the same so one kernel runs great on one device while it runs bad on a other device.
[HTC Sensation] V6-Maniac:
For the current beta testers.

Sense 4.1 V7.5.0 is uploading to Dropbox.

Changelog, bug reports ect are available there to.
[HTC Sensation] Harbir:
Downloading and flashing now v6 :)
[HTC Sensation] ashkan-khatar:
I'm on the latest Blitz and I cannot run init.d scripts, like 99z_kernel, why? I have not installed any MOD.
[HTC Sensation] ronald027:
is this ROM are good for gaming??like nba 2k13..i always like to play that game but its so laggy..any ROM and Kernel suggestion for better game performances??
[HTC Sensation] solo_coco16:
please give me a download link Elegancia v7.5:o
[HTC Sensation] nosferatu997:
I don't think you're in beta testers team... So wait for official rom.
[HTC Sensation] nicushorm:
Senny + OTG + external DAC

As far as i know the provided kernel is SebastianFM :confused:

As you also can see http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=29911384 that SebastianFM 1.5.2 already have support for USB OTG, but seems that you will need external power(USB OTG Y cable or USB Hub with external power supply), I've already tried with a normal cable and it won't work :(

However, my question is related to the sound, if there is any possibility to use an external DAC or I have to buy another HTC(I love my sensation and changing will not be the best option). :laugh:
[HTC Sensation] V6-Maniac:
First of all the Sensation was never a device for heavy games.

Especially the latest games ask a lot of resources.

Also my opinion is that rom ports can have some side effects which doest occur on the device from where the rom originally came.

We have to do a lot of tricks to get it running and sometimes some stuff wont work or partially work.

Also i mentioned earlier that we can't advice which kernel to use.

Non Sensation is the same due to different hardware batches.

So one specific kernel does run fine on one device while the other device runs **** on the same kernel.

So it's up to the user to findout which kernel suites them the best.

So try some kernels with default settings or performance settings to see if the game you wanna play will play.

Strange,

Last time i checked the init.d ran as it supposed to be.

At the moment no time to check since i'm on my Summer Holiday.

Do you run with the provided kernel or did you flashed a different one?

Maybe some other users who coped with the same issue can help you out.

I can't test this since i'm not using this feature and don't have the hardware to test also.

So i don't have any experience with this and can not advice anything.
[HTC Sensation] ashkan-khatar:
Well, I found out what it was. I had flashed Sultan kernel which does not have any problem with init.d or swaps etc., but I asked Sultan, he said it is due to ramdisk responsibility. I'm fine with SebastianFM kernel.

Sultan told me to flash sebastianFM's boot.img first, then flash his kernel.

Thanks anyeays, fir being responsible.
[HTC Sensation] V6-Maniac:
thx...

So i understand it is running fine now.

I will see after my holidays (4weeks) what is going on in the ramdisk.

Could be the init.d line is missing or screwed up by something.

I just put it on my to do list...
[HTC Sensation] eriche:
This is the first time I flashed a custom ROM on my Sensation ;)

Now I have a question.

When installing the ROM I could make some settings before - like choose apps I wanna have installed and so on,...

Is there a way to install some HTC Apps without flashing again and loosing all data right now?

So is it possible to run the ROM Manager stuff again and choose some more APPs to install?

GreeT`s Erich

P.S. Elegancia ROM was my first choice in my HTC HD2 WinMobile ;)
[HTC Sensation] commencal661:
Just run the Aroma installer of the ROM again without a full wipe and chose all the apps you want
[HTC Sensation] ashkan-khatar:
[MENTION=317170]V6-Maniac[/MENTION], I still can't run init.d with any kernel other than SebastianFM kernel that comes with the ROM... I can run them manually, calling them in terminal, but not automatically at system bootup. :(

I did what Sultan said, but no chance. what do you think I can do?

Thoroughly the ROM rocks, but I dunno what with it is wrong... what do you think?
[HTC Sensation] eriche:
I have a question according the layout.

Is there a way to change the layout of the dialing keys and the OK/Cancle Keys?

I am used and a big fan of the common layout where you have the OK and pick up key on the LEFT side and everything which means Cancel on the right side.

Didn`t try other custom ROMS till now - but this is a knock out critera for me.

I think the stock ROMs don`t use this "Apple" style of ordering keys,...

GreeT`s Erich
[HTC Sensation] emitech21:
sms and contact

i have use this rom.. but i have a problem with the SMS and Contact. which is it lag every time i wanna open it. it very slow to open this to thing. even i have use a other application msj such as hencent. also face a same problem. any solution for this.
[HTC Sensation] timboger:
Just FYI. I use rocketdial from the market. It allows you to change the layout any way you want it.
[HTC Sensation] eriche:
S-ON after ROM installation ?

thx for the information ;)

Now I have one more problem.

It seams I am S-ON *ahhhhh*

I upgraded the bootloader to 1.33 and flashed the Elegancia ROM.

Now I used Root Checker and its says my phone is not rooted ?????

How can a phone not rooted install a custom ROM=?

How can I get S-OFF easily back - or did I do something wrong while installing the ROM?

edit:

====

In bootloader menu it says S-OFF

BUT when using the app SuperSU I can not get root Access,...

What can I do or check?

Is there anything needed after flashing the ROM to get Root access?

GreeT`s eRIch
[HTC Sensation] candleworth7808:
Try updating binary in supersu. If that doesn't work, download again and flash.
[HTC Sensation] eriche:
I always want to understand why things are not working and how to fix them in a propper way.

What do u mean with "try updating binaries"?

With flashing the SuperSU I was successful ;)

But couldn`t I use the Elegancia ROM ZIP to manage all this stuff?

GreeT`s erich
[HTC Sensation] RoseOn:
Just installed Elegancia v7.0 and updated to v7.4 and whenever I tried to open up the camera app, within a second an error message 'Unfortunately, Camera has stopped'. I tried installing the apps again using aroma but still the same problem. Anyone has a clue abt this?

Btw, using Sebastian kernel with single swap and recommended settings.
[HTC Sensation] Gruber11:
This is my personal record, amazing battery life... Thanks v6 and whole team, elegancia rom is amazing! ;)
[HTC Sensation] dublinz:
nice one :)
[HTC Sensation] eriche:
I would like to belive your stats ;)

Maybe my battery is dead - but I am very happy when it lasts fpr 12 hours.

PushMail is on but no heavy use (playing games).

I noticed when making the OTA updates to v7.4 after changing apps or drivers with the v7.0 vase elegancia ROM I am back to v7.0 and have to update all the OTA updates again.

Is this the way it sould be?

Or can I stay on v7..4 and modify some things from the base?

GreeT`s Erich
[HTC Sensation] RoseOn:
Finally I've figured out what is the cause after 4 full wipe installation :mad: I'm not sure whether everyone will have this problem or not but for me its the Titanium backup that caused it. I only restore only those green labeled system file from titanium backup. Right after I did that, I can't use my camera anymore. So becareful of using titanium backup :)
[HTC Sensation] Ty5982:
u have just made my nite:D,I couldn't agree with u more,I'm lucky if I get 10 hours a day,its been like that since the day I got my crapsation,I hate those kinda post,if u want good battery life,don't use your phone :p
[HTC Sensation] V6-Maniac:
First off all i want to thank a bunch of anonymous user who donated generously.

I appreciate it very much.

Also wanna say that i'm sorry for my absence lately.

Was busy with work and XDA took to much time.

Which i should have spent with my family.

And there for i did a step back and spent some quality with my wife and princess.

It's Holiday season over here.

And in two day i will be enjoying my Holiday.

Meaning i won't be here for approx 4 week.

Last thing i want to say.

Nobody has to worry, maintaining the Sensation rom will continue until my Sensation dies.

But due to the generous donations in the last couple of weeks i decided to buy me a new development phone.

Although i also bought a Nexus4 3 months back i still missed Sense to play with.

The N4 is great and use it as daily device.

But i just got a HTC ONE and also opened a new thread for Elegancia ONE rom.

So don't worry, i'll be around if and still update if needed ;)
[HTC Sensation] 10neke:
good on you, first things first, which means family.

Have a very good hols, hope you'll go somewhere sunny because you know the weather here................it's a bummer.

HTC One, well, you'll make the best ROM for it I'm sure, or you'll join a nice existing devving team.

Take it away to a higher plan. Good luck. :good::good:
[HTC Sensation] sarryrondo:
Hello V6-Maniac.

I have just installed V7.0.0 with full wipe and all. I updated it to the latest v7.4.0.

The ROM is smooth.

I only have one problem. Romanian diacritics do not work in writing and also they do not show if in the weather app there is a location that uses Ș or Ț letter.

I tried changing system language from English (US) to Română (România) but it is the same. The keyboard does not show "ț" letter, it is a blank space. The weather also does not show diacritics.

example: Instead of "Afumați" location it says "Afuma i" - replacing "ț" with empty space.

If I want to write a romanian word that contains "ț' it does not show it. If I type "țigară" is displays " igara" - replacing "ț" with empty space.

Can you help me?

Thanks in advance.
[HTC Sensation] epsix:
Does the update work? I try to update 7.0 to 7.4 it keep saying downloading ?
[HTC Sensation] RoseOn:
The updates working but you have to update it step by step. meaning frm 7.0 to 7.1 to 7.2 to 7.3 to 7.4 :)
[HTC Sensation] minahlepak:
Now u just gave me a reason to start flashing on my One after I said to my self no more playing around. Hehehe... :p :laugh: :silly:
[HTC Sensation] Prinz069:
C'mon.....If you would stop flashing you would have bought iCrap :D
[HTC Sensation] Ty5982:
that is the biggest lie on xda I have ever seen,all u do is go on & on & on about u & ur wife's iPhone,how its your daily phone,u show us loads of screenshots:D

Lol. sometimes I wish I am brit :)
[HTC Sensation] dublinz:
Did ty hurt your feelings that bad :cool: Take your Ipod listen to Imusic and browse Internet on your Imac or read book on Ipad :)

Go Djokovic go :)
[HTC Sensation] nikola016:
Hahaha, saw this post and laughed, that was strenuous match 4hrs and 40minutes , but we (Serbia, Djokovic) won. :)

Sorry for off topic, elegancia is the rom which was longest on my device, about 4 months (have device 5 months) now i switched do sense 4+ and jb. Thank you for your hard work v6 ! You are the man, elegancia's 7.x version is much faster and smoother than 3.x was, that shows your hard work. Also more stable. Cheers.

I miss my Elegancia

A couple of months ago, I migrated to the Galaxy S4. There are several great ROMs out there for it, but I have to say, I miss Elegancia. Sure wish I could port it to the Galaxy S4. Then, my smart phone life would be complete.

Until the next great phone comes along, anyway. :laugh:

Sweep to wake

Hi All,

i installed elegancia 7.4 into my sensation and i realise that elegancia tweak did not include sweep to wake function...any other alternative way to have this function in elegancia 7.4?
[HTC Sensation] Gruber11:
You can flash any kernel which supports sweep to wake to have that function (sultan kernel , pyd-x kernel, etc...)

Vacation

So V6 is 7.5.0 coming out before you go off on your well deserved vacation? I notice it has been in beta testing for at least a week now.

Well it appears I better hurry up and get myself an HTC ONE :laugh: cause I figure the bulk of your efforts will be going in that direction and I must say in my many years of flashing ROMS (from Windows Mobile 5.1 days) I've found your ROMs have simply been the best man.

Thanks a bunch and enjoy your vacation.
[HTC Sensation] V6-Maniac:
Thx for your kinds words.

This does inspire me alot.

I don't think v7.5.0 will see daylight before i go on holiday.

There is still to much to do and test.

Also i'm very busy to get the latest HTC ONE rom online.

I want to release it before i go on holiday and use this as my daily driver.

I want a ONE rom which suites me and have a couple of hours to. ;)
[HTC Sensation] Trakkiggio:
Thank you dear! Have you seen new results in JB development of SebastianFM? Seem that finally we have a stable JB ROM.... waiting for a Elegancia JB Rom Too :D
[HTC Sensation] :
Hi guys..

I must be blind..but I have been looking for the download link and I can't seem to find it.. it must be I am very tired.. but I have tried very hard and still can't find it.. do I need to go somewhere else to download this rom?
[HTC Sensation] upsmanraz:
The links are in the 4th post on the first page. Sense 4.1 7.0.0. That is the last full Rom. You get up to 7.4.0 by system update.
[HTC Sensation] :
wow..haha.. thank you.. do you by any chance know if wifi calling works?
[HTC Sensation] upsmanraz:
It works perfectly for me.
[HTC Sensation] :
how long does the initial boot take? - it has been stuck on the sensation 4g logo for almost 10 minutes
[HTC Sensation] upsmanraz:
Did you do a full wipe before flashing? That seems a little bit long. Did you check the md5 after downloading? Mine has never taken longer than 5 min at the very most to boot up.
[HTC Sensation] :
Yes..full wipe.
[HTC Sensation] upsmanraz:
I'm guessing youre s-off, latest 4ext. Did you check md5?
[HTC Sensation] lazers378:
I have latest touch CWM recovery and some CM9. Is it a must to go fot 4ext recovery before installing this ROM ?, I am new to flashing:)
[HTC Sensation] V6-Maniac:
If you want to enjoy a future OTA update 4ext recovery is the only recovery which is compatible with this feature.

Otherwise your current recovery is fine if it can handle the Aroma script when installing.

But to update your recovery simply install the 4ect recovery updater app from playstore (free) and install the latest 4ext recovery touch from there.
[HTC Sensation] mpkossen:
Thank you for creating such a nice, clean and fast ROM! I appreciate you guys taking the time to do this and maintain this!
[HTC Sensation] Prinz069:
Warm feedback is appreciated all the time ...oh, your dutch too....doesn't count :) hehehe

You're welcom, bud!
[HTC Sensation] Ty5982:
neva known the thread so quiet,I suppose that's what u officially call a bug free rom:D
